NZ by 15+

Aus by 5+

We won't win Australia on the weekend. I'm glad though, I actually hope we have a bad Quad nations and peak at RWC /optimist

I have NZ 20+ and Aus 5+

Personally I believe that we have three games bagged (Aus home game and Pumas), the other games will take everything that we can do at our best to avoid errors and that lingering ill-discipline.

I'm just wondering about kicking... Foley is a much better goalkicker than Cooper.

Isn't Gitaeu a good kicker?

Am I disallowed to criticise the Springboks? I really do doubt their discipline, especially considering Jannie and Bismarck.

Faith has nothing to do with it. There is a less than 5% chance of us winning Australia in that stadium. That is just how it is. I'll be extremely happy if we win, and I'll cheer them on for the win. But it's highly unlikely.

Forgot about him.

Dunno if he kicks for Toulon, though?

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Looks like we've played them there 8 times, winning only once, which was the latest test, in 2013.

No you can criticize them, I just think they are going to surprise us that's all

No stopping the Black machine.

Final Score:

NEW ZEALAND 39 vs ARGENTINA 18

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Very decent performance by the ABs. They'll be annoyed at the two rolling maul tries, but dominated overall.

Naholo cracked a bone in his fibula, out for 3 months and thus the World Cup.

Devastating news. Was thinking him and Savea on the wings would be a beastly combo.

No Whiteley at all in the match-day squad. I'd pick him over Burger, easily.

I agree.

Whiteley just can't play HM's kick 'n crash brawn-over-brain style, which is why he was invisible in the W15 game last weekend.

Boks have a woeful record at Suncorp...

Not overly confident for today's fixture....

Aussie by 15....

Whitley had a good game last weekend imho, what baffles me is that he is not even on the bench.

Anyone else's feed choppy as hell?

Seems to have been fixed.

Have no idea about this game
